Our friend Adi, better known as Ruby on Rails Guy sent me this frightening video of hate speech coming from the Acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, Ahmad Bahr. As an example, here is an excerpt: America will be annihilated, while Islam will remain. The Muslims “will be victorious, if you are believers.” Oh [...]

Dr. Wafa Sultan Rebukes Arab World on Al Jezeera

May 21, 2007

This is one of the most brilliant and courageous things I’ve ever seen. Thanks to Ruby on Rails Guy for sharing this in the comments of another post. In 2006 Wafa Sultan was named to Time Magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people “whose power, talent or moral example is transforming the world.” They [...]

Sell Your Soul, Get a Free DVD!

April 24, 2007

I’ve seen a lot of crazy things on the Internet, but this one just about takes the cake. A Web site called The Blasphemy Challenge has been set up to encourage people to publicly denounce the existence of God. And what do you get in return? A DVD that explains why there is no God. [...]

The following is an open letter from activist atheist Dr. Richard Dawkins written to his daughter Juliet on her tenth birthday and published as the last entry in his book A Devil’s Chaplain.

The Rules of Islamic Wife Beating

March 15, 2007

This is not meant to be offensive to anyone, but I found it educational to understand the depths of the Islamic religious basis for the status of women in society. So far as I am aware there is no similar religious teaching in Christianity, Buddhism, or other major religions – although I’m sure someone will [...]

The next time you take your freedom of speech for granted just think about the alternative. A young man in Egypt has been sentenced to 4 years in jail for “criticizing the President and Islam”. Half of all Americans would be in jail if it were illegal here… ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (Reuters) An Alexandria court convicted [...]

I’ve searched the annals (he, he… he said anal) of the Internet to find the two greatest video arguments I could find, one for the existance of a supreme diety, one against. In the end, at least to me, it all seems to boil down to a simple philosophical decision. Is it possible that everything [...]

Religion is one of those topics I normally don’t want to touch with a 10 foot pole. I’ve found that no one ever agrees when it comes to this topic. Heck, I’ve seen Christians arguing with one another over the meaning of a particular passage of scripture, so you know no good can come of [...]
